HOWARD HUGHES' 91 HOURS 'ROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT IN LOCKHEAD-14 MARKS BRITISH AS SMART BUYERS OF U.S. AIRCRAFT

NATIONAL ACME IS UP THERE TOO!
In his record breaking hop, Howard Hughes focused international attention upon the marvelous performance of his Lockheed-14 monoplane under all flying conditions.

And for his fast, perfectly controlled, safe landings, commercial and military aeronautical engineers alike give high praise to the stamina and performance of Goodyear Airplane Wheels and Hydraulic Brakes—for they too are vital to safe performance.

Thousands of Goodyear Airplane Wheels and Brakes are sold by Goodyear's Aeronautical Division to builders of planes for governmental, military, private and air line usage. For many such contracts, "Goodyear" is the adopted standard—flying to the four corners of the globe.

These thousands of Goodyear Airplane Wheels and Brakes are completely manufactured by the Contract Department of The National Acme Company. This department—a section of our ten acre plant—is fully equipped for a wide variety of machining, assembly and test operations, and capably manned to cooperate in progressive engineering developments—complete facilities are promptly available for precision units of the highest character.

To both "Lockheed" and "Goodyear"— our congratulations on your fleet of 200 planes for the British Government.
